Statistic cookies help website owners to understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously.

• Google Analytics

  We create pseudonymous user profiles with the help of Google Analytics in order to design our websites in line with requirements. Google Analytics uses targeting cookies that are stored on your end device and can be read by us. In this way, we are able to recognize and count returning visitors and find out how often our websites are accessed by different users. Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR (consent) and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, since we have activated IP anonymization on our website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and only shortened there (further information on the purpose and scope of data collection can be found, for example, at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de). We have also concluded an order processing contract with Google LLC (USA) in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Google will therefore only use all information strictly for the purpose of evaluating the use of our websites for us and compiling reports on website activity.
